Our program not only prepares highly-skilled craftsmen, it helps them understand the “why” of their work. Benefits include raises, promotions and VA benefits (if applicable).

The apprenticeship program is flexible and allows the opportunity for employees to complete the program as “WECC Apprentices” and receive company certificates as bookwork-only participants. Bookwork-only participants are not required to do the performance portion of the program, but are a vital part of the WECC Construction Management Training (CMT) program.
